Randy Forte – Chas Randall SOUNDCLOUD: https://soundcloud.com/randyforte/sets/chas-randall The presence of country music on Chas Randall isn’t profound but, when Forte turns his attention in that direction, the results are uniformly successful. “Six Beers Away (From Crying Over You)” has some traditional country qualities, particularly the steel guitar, but Forte avoids any of the style’s pitfalls or standard […]
